[R-sig-Debian] Error in build_htmlpkglist

On a machine running Debian testing and now on another machine running
Kubuntu hoary on which I tried to install the r-base-core_2.1.1-1 I
consistently get errors from the installation of the recommended
packages, such as r-cran-nlme. This is somewhat embarrassing as
r-cran-nlme is my package :-)
The error messages are
Undefined subroutine &main::build_htmlpkglist called at
/usr/lib/R/share/perl/build-help.pl line 73.
That perl script does contain the line
use R::Rdlists;
and the file R/Rdists.pl does define build_htmlpkglist but somehow the
definition is not being found.
My perl is rather rusty and I would prefer not to debug this. Has
anyone else encountered this problem? Does anyone know of a fix?
